Re: Gabriel PLATZ, Pfalz > St. Louis, MO

Gabrielem PLATZ & Anna Maria STRAUB were married 22 May 1832 in the Catholic Church in Maikammer, which is geographically in the Rhineland-Pfalz.Bayern is the German name for Bavaria, which has at times in the past administratively controlled the Pfalz, despite not being geographically continuous with it.In other words, they were not married in Bavaria, despite what the marriage record in the LDS IGI database says.

Four of Gabriel & Anna Maria (STRAUB) PLATZ's children were married in St. Joseph's Catholic Church in St. Louis, MO:

I know nothing further, and I have been tearing my hair out trying to find either Gabriel or Anna Maria in any census, especially 1860, for which at least Anna Maria had to have been living.If anyone has found them in any census, please share before I go nuts!
